Had an interesting discussion over coffee this morning. My honey said her arms were sore from playing Wii with her little ones this weekend. They are to young to play baseball or take bowling but they can do it on the Wii. My arms are sore too because I've been block sanding for a few days. If I knew how, id write a program, and design a Wii body shop game. You pick a vehicle, and then play "Body Shop". Strip, grind, cut, beat panels, weld, hammer dolly, mud/sand/mud again/block/mud some more/block, skim coat, block, prime-block- prime block prime block, mask, paint, sand & rub. There would be curvey cars, long straight cars, quarter panels as big as sails, razor straight body lines, convex compound curves, round parts that are like blocking a bowling ball. Wonder if it would sell or be any fun at all ?
You could also make real interesting, add a few trips to the supply store. While there you'll get to talk to experts who give opinions, and advise. Most if it just confuses you. You get to choose the right or wrong stuff. But you won't know if its wrong until you have a failure in your Buffed paint. While busting your virtual Wii ***, your sweat drips onto your work. My personal favorite (ha-ha) sweat dripping out of your nitril gloves while you are painting. Your mechanic buddy stops by and rubs his greasy hands on your smooth panels or the neighbors kid comes by eating a fried chicken leg and touches everything he can find, pics up every sanitary tool and asks "hey, what's this for ". With that being part if the game, you'll have to explain how to use the tool and then clean it . If you don't then ay the end you get to find out why you should have.
Yeah, that would ****! On the other hand high school and votech would use them to teach body work instead of hands on approach. Hell itll make a fortune.
ooh, that's a cold shot I'd name your game " A DAY IN THE LIFE " & and I don't even know what a '' wii '' game is " Humpty Dumpty was pushed "
theres only one hole in your idea ....wheres the violence?..... cept in unmercifully sanding your own fingerprints off there has to be some sort of conflict/drama/blood for most people today to give agame or movie a second look if you develop it id buy it and play it on my girlfriends wii
aren't those games supposed to be fun? who in their right mind would want to do that for fun, all the agony with none of the real result?
I know what you mean, but for some reason there's lots of folks who enjoy the Wii version of baseball, bowling, tennis, boxing and all the other stuff without any real results. I personally don't understand it but that's the way it is.
You know how pissed off I could be if I came into my house after countless hours of block sanding, to find my kids "pretending" to sand a car on TV!?!?!?! F that noise!
I dont think it would sell, Neither would these examples 1. Roofing your house game. 2. Smart mouth ***** ex wife game. 3. Wiring a two story building game. (with a wacko boss)
Someone had to marry the smart mouth ***** first before she was an ex-wife. Some idiot sold a whole lot of pet rocks to even bigger idiots. Another thing that I think is about the stupidest thing to spend money on is 50/50 anti freeze and any kind of "wipe". They sell more of that **** that I ever thought possible.
i can see it now, me: so how much experience you have in the body business son? young gun: well none, but i did stay in a holiday inn last night and played wii bodyshop! DOH!
I got a good chuckle out of these ideas. There are some sick puppies out there, maybe they would sell! Still, it just wouldn't be the same without the possibility of: 1. Crippling injury 2. Public humiliation and/or lifetime imprisonment 3. Hu****ous lawsuit.
Wii games are based upon games that fun. That's what makes them popular and sells games. I don't know what happened to you as you went about blocking out your car, but if it somehow turned into "something that I want to pretend that I'm doing when I'm not actuall doing it" type of fun, I gotta think that you either just started on your first car, you had too much to drink, or you need to lay on a couch in a doctors office. Blocking out a car isn't fun. If it was every car would be perfect. Ha Ha.
Nope nothing fun about it. But there's nothing fun about being in the boxing ring, or the training to get there. It's torture in real life and yet its very popular video game. Fans love it and the boxers themselves must enjoy some part of it or they wouldn't do it. Blocking to perfection is something that only a few will ever do in real life. There's probably a few more who could but haven't tried or wont. Those that do it do it because they have a p***ion for it. No one has to do that, but they choose to. Close enough is generally good enough.. It's not just blocking, its the whole process involved. Imagine the enchantment and p***ion that could create in the little ones, the elderly ones, the physically incapable ones. Imagine youngster eyeing a black paint job and seeing its for what it is. Good or bad they will know the difference. Tequila and the couch! Lol.
On a serious note. I think if it was a game where you built a show car, showed it, and based on your bodywork- paint and color choices- chop channel and suspension mods- interior layout and stereo stuff- wheels and tires- fit and finish, you might have a game there. If you kick *** at the show, and win a cover shoot with models, get laid, and start your own car club. You got a game.
face it.Lazyness sells.hard work doesnt. if you could box with a mc fatty burger in one hand the wii in the other,you can wear pajamas and avoid walking 10feet to go anywhere,,,Im 100% sure its gonna sell..
Sounds like a hell of an idea! It would pretty well guarantee that once the youth of america played it once we would have ZERO bodymen or women in our future. Lippy
